The Schools of Nursing and Pharmacy operate on both the Oxford and Jackson campuses. The Schools of Dentistry, Health Related Professionals and Medicine, and the Health Sciences Graduate School, are based in Jackson only. (Additional healthcare programs are available through the School of Applied Sciences on the Oxford campus.) Other than these exceptions, the schools above are on the Oxford campus.

B.S.Ch.E. in Chemical Engineering

Description

The B.S. in chemical engineering provides the student with a fundamental
knowledge of chemical engineering science and prepares graduates for a
variety of careers in industry and government, or for advanced study in
engineering, business, or professional school.

Minimum Total Credit Hours: 128

Goals/Mission Statement

Program Educational Objectives

Graduates from the Department of Chemical Engineering of the University
of Mississippi will be:

professional and societal issues.

Student Outcomes

In accordance with ABET accreditation requirements, BSChE students at
the University of Mississippi should demonstrate the attainment of the
following student outcomes:

(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and
engineering

(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze
and interpret data

(c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired
needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental,
social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and
sustainability

(d) an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams

(e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems

(j) a knowledge of contemporary issues

(k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering
tools necessary for engineering practice

Alternatives for 300-level technical electives: Manf 253, Manf 254,
and the combination of Bisc 160, 161, 162, and 163. In the case of the
Bisc 160-163 series, the student must take all 8 credits to fulfill the
requirement for one 3-credit technical elective. A maximum of 3 credits
of Ch E 330 may be used to satisfy one of the technical elective
requirements.

Emphases in Chemical Engineering: As alternative to the standard or
PreMed options in chemical engineering, a student may
choose to obtain a B.S. in Chemical Engineering with one or more of
the following five emphases: biotechnology, biomedical engineering,
environmental, manufacturing (in collaboration with the
Center for Manufacturing Excellence), and materials. The same general
education and course requirements (defined above) apply to all emphases
in chemical engineering. Taking specific advanced chemistry and elective
courses satisfy specific emphasis requirements.

Other Academic Requirements

Students in the Department of Chemical Engineering are encouraged to
take the Fundamentals of Engineering examination prior to awarding of
the baccalaureate degree.

Emphasis - Materials

Course Requirements

Students in Materials Option must choose ENGR 309 when given the
choice in the Foundation/Engineering Science Topic
